Reventify, Africa’s leading CV-building platform, is launching HR Connect, a new job-seeking platform. Scheduled for launch in October 2021, the platform is designed to foster professional relationships between job seekers and HR Managers at big corporations or startups directly. Job seekers with the help of HR Connect will be able to seek advice from these HR Managers.
At the beginning of the year, Reventify launched a smart CV builder to help job seekers build perfect CVs for each job within 10 minutes. Leveraging on the platform’s written sentence starters to list work experience and career summaries, the resume creation process is fast and mobile-friendly.
Created by surveying several HR Managers across different industries and incorporating feedback based on specific hiring criteria, Reventify’s CV templates are modeled after formats that HR Managers most prefer.
Reventify has a feature “Expert insights” that gives job seekers guidance on how to better structure their content, and what to include on their CV. There is also a built-in spelling and grammar function to keep CVs grammatically correct and error-free.
Though a flawless CV is integral to a successful job-seeking process, Reventify wanted to bridge the gap between another essential step in achieving one’s dream job, that is, building a professional network.
“HR Connect by Reventify eliminates the years it would normally take for job seekers to get an audience with hiring managers or secure an interview.” Said the site’s Founders. “It also makes job search as easy and as seamless as possible by having HR Managers provide career planning and job coaching services in a one-to-one virtual setting.”
The platform also provides for informational mock interviews with HR professional that help job seekers get insights on career prospects in different industries. They can also build relationships with hiring managers who can refer them to job positions or give advice that can help them in the hiring process.
Participating in mock interviews with a company insider can also help individuals prepare for an upcoming interview. HR Connect will connect job seekers to HR Managers who have either worked at the particular company the job seeker is interested in or a similar company.
The company disclosed that the new feature will launch in 5 African countries: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Egypt in October 2021 before expanding to other markets in Q1 2022.
As part of the benefits, jobseekers can book one-on-one virtual sessions with hiring managers by creating a quick profile on the platform. After the job seeker selects their primary reason for wanting to connect with a hiring manager, they pick up to 3 dates and time options, upload a CV, and make payment. A booking confirmation will follow acceptance from the HR Manager.
One of the platform’s Co-Founders, Seun Oyedira, said, “having a great CV along with the right coaching and network increases the odds of landing a great job by 4x. “This was our motivation for realizing our vision with HR Connect.”
